Chapter 77: The rumour about the Moya family
In the Moya family, Gerardo was so angry that he threw his historic jug, worth more than a million euros, and that piece shattered into pieces after a sound.
-This asshole!
Jaime, the Moya family butler, looked around and told the maid to clean up the pieces. Then he patted Gerardo’s back to calm him down and when he saw that he had calmed down a little, he said:
-My lord, don’t be angry, it’s not good for your health.
-I wish I could not get angry!
When Dylan’s company was presented, Gerardo was almost sick with rage at the sight of the SJ Group’s brilliant sign, because Dylan’s personal fortune was almost equal to that of the entire Moya family.
The only difference between the SJ Group and the Moya Group was that one was a new company with only ten-something years of history since its founding on Wall Street and the other belonged to a prestigious family.
Apart from this, the SJ Group was not losing anything to the Moya family’s company and, on top of that, it had a brighter future because of the vitality of being a young company. And that was what made Gerardo look bad, and what he had done before made him look like a cheapskate.
On top of that, his only grandson was screwing up all the time. His affair with his wife’s sister had been publicised, and on top of that he made a fuss in the company about his private case.
-Vanessa, who used to be a polite girl, also did wrong. Why did she go to make trouble in the company?
Gerardo was also angry with Vanessa, because she had made scandals in the company and on top of that he said that she would make his grandson look bad….
It was a total and utter disgrace for a decent family!
-Go call that damn kid back and tell him that if he’s not back in half an hour, he’s never to come back!
-Yes, sir, but please don’t get any more angry,” Jaime said respectfully and turned to call Orlando.
Then Jaime nodded to the maid to prepare a soothing infusion for Gerard.
Half an hour later, Orlando was already on his way back after receiving the first call, but he didn’t want to confront Gerardo, so he drove very slowly. When he heard the grandfather threaten to throw him out of the family in irritation, he reluctantly had to speed up.
-Grandfather, what are you looking for me for?
-How cheeky you have to be to ask me that! -Gerardo scolded him angrily when he saw Orlando’s unconcerned face and threw a glass at him.
-Grandfather! -exclaimed Orlando, dodging to one side and looking at Gerardo in disgust.
-Don’t treat me like grandpa! Damn it! Are you trying to piss me off? What did I tell you? You ignored my words and made such a fuss with Vanessa in the company. You are a disgrace to our family!
Gerardo was even angrier as he scolded Orlando – why couldn’t his grandson be as good as Dylan?
-What the hell is going on? Why did Vanessa come and talk such nonsense in the company? Tell me, did you do something to Vanessa again?
-What could I do? -Orlando muttered impatiently and sat down as if nothing had happened in front of Gerardo.
-Vanessa didn’t go to the company for no reason and I warned you to treat her well, she has shares in Grupo Moya.
-Grandfather, you gave that to him.
-I had given it to him for you! -Gerard shouted angrily.
-Well, grandfather, don’t worry, I’ll sort out Vanessa.
-Solve? How are you going to solve it? -Gerardo snarled and pounded the table angrily. Vanessa said she’d divorce you and ruin your reputation in front of every executive in the company. You’ve disgraced the entire Moya family!
-What could I do if she came to trouble me in the office with intent?
-If you hadn’t done something, Vanessa wouldn’t have treated you like that! What have you done?!
Gerardo gritted his teeth and glared at Orlando. If he had another grandson, he would have thrown Orlando out of his job! If Dylan was his son! But the sad reality was disappointing and rumours were just rumours.
-I haven’t done anything.
-You still won’t tell me the truth? You think I won’t look into all this?
Orlando knew that Gerardo would find out everything and it was better to confess now.
-Nothing, just…
Orlando said casually that he had used his spy from the Cazalla Group to destroy an important project of the Cazalla Group.
-You’re going to kill me! Destroying the Cazalla Group? What have you been doing?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
If Orlando were not Gerardo’s only grandson, he would have already sent this guy abroad for good, who was only acting out of his capricious emotions at such a critical moment.
In reality, Orlando had good skills and knew how to strategise to meet his goals. Gerardo had thought he would focus more on work after he got married, but once married he made things worse and worse! He was a total disaster!
-Grandfather, don’t worry, I won’t let anyone take Grupo Moya away from us. And don’t worry about me and Vanessa either!
-Your fucking shit! -Gerard cried uncontrollably, his face flushed with anger.
-Not to worry? You don’t seem to want to inherit Grupo Moya, if you keep this up, I’ll fire you! Then I’ll hand the company over to Dylan when I retire! -Gerardo warned, purposely to threaten his smug grandson.
However, Orlando believed that his grandfather preferred Dylan to him and became worried when he remembered those rumours….
“What will happen to Grupo Moya if these rumours were true?”
Orlando was secretly reflecting, but showed nothing in his expression and apologised incessantly to Gerardo:
-I’m sorry, grandfather. I’ll do anything you say.
-Really?
-Really,” replied Orlando, pretending to be honest and modest.
Gerardo was relieved to see that his grandson listened to him in order to follow the right path, but this poor grandfather did not know that Orlando’s promise was nothing more than a strategy.
